Twyla, if you can't find any Red-Brown hens/pullets you could breed some for yourself, you have everything that you need to get them. You could breed your RB roo to a Birchen hen, you should get RB offspring from that mating. Something keeps going around in my head about sex linked color, so I'm not sure if you get RB roos or RB hens or just a mixture, but you'll get RB. I think Gail will know how this works, you could ask her how many breedings it will take to get your RB hens.

I do not have any good typed Buff Columbian hens. Next Spring I will be breeding my Buff Columbian male to one or more of my better typed Columbian pullets. I have been told by several who have done this that I will get Buff sex linked females and brassy males that have no value in any breeding program.

WOW!! Yes, what a plethora of information

I just love that word........plethora

Anyway......lots of very valuable information in one place.
Thank you Gail. You yourself are a plethora of information.

Sorry for being so silly, I think I must be chicken drunk myself. I got my building a few days ago, and it is FULL!! already, but it's wonderful, I don't have to worry about a single bird this winter and they are immeasurably easier to take care of in this set up.
Thanks be to the chicken gods!
